Question Wedding Favor Packaging for Biscotti

Any brilliant ideas? They are 6x1.25x1 each. My sister is driving me crazy. We were going to use the PTI pillow box die but they are too big. I want to make the biscotti smaller but she thinks that's too small. Considering I saw a single biscotti about 3" long and only one as a favor I think 2 4" long ones are awesome. And less work for the relative who's making them. She now likes a kraft coffee tie top window bag but I'm sure the bag is too big. The 1/2 lb size is fine for height but too wide and deep. But she insists.

She doesn't want anything too fru-fru. Or too girlie. We thought of cello bags with a ribbon but it isn't elegant enough. I want to present some other ideas but I'm too frustrated to think right now. She isn't being a traditional diva, more of a passive aggressive diva. Ugh, help!!

Would a pretzel rod bag work? Then pretty it up with some sort of tie off, or bag topper. One nice biscotti, especially if it was chocolate dipped would be fine as a wedding favor. The bags are found with the baking stuff at WalMart.

Papermart dot com has some great packaging ideas. They have the coffee bags, plus other plastic & window boxes that might work. They are in the candy packaging section.

cherij124 mentioned plastic & window boxes. Here's a picture that uses a clear top box and looks quite elegant -

My friend used the SU Top Note Die. She layered two on top with designer paper and solid paper and one below and put the biscotti in between tying with ribbon to hold the biscotti in between the layers.
